Adaptive Image Display Apparatus Distance-Based Information
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current image display apparatuses do not dynamically adjust the amount or type of information displayed based on the user's interest, which is determined by the distance of a pointed location to the displayed item, leading to suboptimal user experience.
Innovation Solution
An image display apparatus and method that determine the amount or type of information to display based on the distance from a pointed location to an item, increasing information as the distance decreases and reducing it as the distance increases, with a maximum display when the distance is below a certain critical value, allowing for adaptive content presentation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the image display apparatus displays a fixed amount of information for all items, then the system is simple and easy to implement, but the user experience is suboptimal as it does not adapt to user interest
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the information display quantity variable rather than fixed. The controller dynamically adjusts the amount of information displayed based on the calculated distance between the pointed location and each item, transforming a static display system into an adaptive one that responds to user interaction patterns
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of information display quantity based on another parameter (distance). By establishing a relationship where display quantity is a function of distance, the system adapts to user interest without requiring complex user profiles or historical analysis, simply using spatial positioning data
2Loss of information
If the apparatus displays maximum information for all items, then complete information is provided, but the display becomes cluttered and harder to navigate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by providing different amounts of information for different items based on their individual distances from the pointed location. Items closer to the pointer receive more detailed information while distant items receive less, creating a differentiated display that maintains overall information completeness while improving local navigability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses partial action by selectively displaying maximum information only for items that are closest to the pointed location, while displaying reduced information for other items. This partial application of full information display prevents clutter while ensuring that the most relevant items receive complete information
